Why Door Hangers Are Great for Quick Seasonal Decor

• Easy to customize for any season

How to Make a Spring Door Hanger

This design is especially cute because the mix of striped mesh, soft ribbon, and floral picks gives it that fun spring look without needing a lot of extra supplies.

Step 1: Prep Your Door Hanger Base

Start with your door hanger from the Monthly Wreath Supply Box.

Before attaching anything, take a minute to make sure your hanging rope or wire is secure and that the base is ready to decorate.

This is also a good time to decide where you want your mesh, ribbon, and florals to sit. A quick layout before attaching anything can help your design feel more balanced.

Tip: If your design is going to be heavier on one side, plan for that early so the finished hanger still hangs straight.

Step 2: Add the Striped Mesh

Next, start adding your striped mesh to the door hanger.

You can use the mesh to create soft ruffles or gathered sections depending on how full you want the finished piece to look.

The striped mesh helps add texture and visual interest while also giving the design a little more volume. Since door hangers do not have the same depth as a full wreath, mesh is a great way to build fullness without making the project feel bulky.

Attach the mesh securely and fluff it as you go so it does not sit too flat.

Tip: Keep your mesh placement slightly loose and airy so the ribbon and florals still have room to stand out.

Step 3: Layer the Ribbon

Now it is time to bring in the ribbon.

Use:

• 1.5 inch purple ribbon
• 1.5 inch polka dot ribbon with pink lace edge

These two ribbons work beautifully together because one adds solid color while the other adds personality and detail.

Cut your ribbon into even lengths and create layered ribbon bundles or small loops. Attach them throughout the design where you want extra color and softness.

If you have ever searched for how to layer ribbon on a door hanger, the easiest method is to let one ribbon act as your base and use the second one as your accent.

The purple ribbon helps ground the design, while the polka dot ribbon adds that playful spring look.

Tip: Let your ribbon tails overlap slightly, but make sure each pattern still has room to be seen.

Step 4: Add the Floral Picks

Once your mesh and ribbon are in place, start adding your floral picks.

This is where the design really comes to life.

Place your floral picks around the mesh and ribbon to soften the edges and add movement. You can tuck them into the top, sides, or lower portion of the design depending on how full you want it to feel.

Instead of spacing the florals perfectly evenly, try placing them in little groupings. This usually creates a more natural, designer-style look.

The floral picks help pull the whole spring theme together and give the door hanger that finished, polished feel.

Tip: Start with your larger floral picks first, then fill in with smaller accents where needed.

Step 5: Fluff and Finish

Once everything is attached, step back and shape the finished design.

Adjust:

• Mesh that looks flat
• Ribbon loops that are hidden
• Floral picks that need more movement
• Any empty spots that need filling

Because this is a flatter project, shaping matters a lot. Even small adjustments can make the final piece look much fuller and more intentional.

Tip: Hang the door hanger up before you call it finished. It is easier to see gaps and balance issues when it is upright.

Design Tips for Spring Door Hangers

Use mesh to build fullness

Even a little mesh can make a flatter door hanger look more dimensional.

Mix one solid and one playful ribbon

This keeps the design fun without making it look too busy.

Add florals in clusters

Small grouped florals almost always look more natural than evenly spaced stems.

Keep the shape balanced

Door hangers can look lopsided quickly, so always step back and check your placement.
